Metabolic Interactions between Bacteria and Fungi in Commensal Oral Biofilms
Oral health is more than just the absence of disease. The key to oral health is a diverse microbiome in an ecological balance. The oral microbiota is one of the most complex and diverse microbial communities in the human body. To maintain oral health, balance between the human host and the intrinsic microorganisms is essential. The healthy oral cavity is represented by a great microbial diversi...
متن کاملInteractions of commensal gut microbes with subsets of B- and T-cells in the murine host.
Although mechanisms operative in the induction and maintenance of specific, adaptive immunity, including 'cognate' B/T interactions, have been extensively studied and defined, we still know little about the mechanisms operative in developing and maintaining B- and T-cell dependent 'natural' immunity. Particularly, we are still rather ignorant concerning gut microbial/gut or systemic APC, T cell...
متن کاملInteractions between commensal fungi and the C-type lectin receptor Dectin-1 influence colitis.
The intestinal microflora, typically equated with bacteria, influences diseases such as obesity and inflammatory bowel disease. Here, we show that the mammalian gut contains a rich fungal community that interacts with the immune system through the innate immune receptor Dectin-1. Mice lacking Dectin-1 exhibited increased susceptibility to chemically induced colitis, which was the result of alte...
متن کاملInteractions between commensal bacteria and the gut-associated immune system of the chicken.
The chicken gut-associated lymphoid tissue is made up of a number of tissues and cells that are responsible for generating mucosal immune responses and maintaining intestinal homeostasis. The normal chicken microbiota also contributes to this via the ability to activate both innate defense mechanisms and adaptive immune responses. If left uncontrolled, immune activation in response to the norma...
متن کاملCommensal - pathogen interactions in the intestinal tract
In both humans and mice, the intestinal microbiota are essential for development of a mature immune system, and for maintaining immunological homeostasis in the intestinal tract. Although many hundreds of bacterial species colonize the mammalian gut, the balance between these species varies widely between individuals in a population. Importantly, the presence or absence of specific species of b...
